Weather Briefing
VFRBarnaul Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (190°) at 6 knots. Runway 24 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 18°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 00:00Z and 02:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 09:00Z and 00:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Barnaul Airport
Overview
Barnaul Airport serves the Altai Krai region in southwestern Siberia, Russia, operating as a medium-sized airport located at an elevation of 837 feet MSL. Situated at coordinates 53.363800, 83.538498, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the city of Barnaul and surrounding areas, supporting regional and potentially limited international commercial and cargo operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Barnaul Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) predominating 63% of observed periods. Pilots can expect challenging winter conditions, with temperature ranges spanning from -37°C to 25°C and an average temperature of -3.7°C. Marginal Visual Flight Rules (MVFR) conditions occur in 22.7% of observations, indicating potential need for increased weather awareness and potential alternate planning.
Notable Features
The airport features a substantial concrete runway (06/24) measuring 9,350 feet in length, capable of accommodating medium-sized aircraft. Its Siberian location suggests potential terrain complexities and significant seasonal weather transitions, which pilots should carefully consider during flight planning and execution.
Approach Considerations
With predominantly calm wind conditions and a single runway orientation, pilots should prepare for standard approach procedures. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility, though fog is present in approximately 2.1% of observations. September, October, and January statistically offer the most stable Visual Flight Rules conditions for operations.
